[Peacefool]

For that Stanley Cup Final were fair,NHL boses needs to shot knee to at least 8 guy in team which comes from west,cuz team from east which will make to finals will be already destroyed xD

 

[RussianGuyovich]

is bertuzzi a rental? damn.

When your competitors ahead of you have the ability to add and all you can Do is Jeannot. There’s a problem but then again the last few years we were able to do what is being done. It will make Boston better but I’m not sure now about Toronto they have been awful aggressive it could well bite them in the ass.

Mate you better pray that Jeannot won't be any good for us because if he ends up being a serviceable player for us (hint: he will), you'll have to eat quite the load of crow

 

[RussianGuyovich]

just put hedman on the LTIR for much needed R&R and use his cap space for karlsson

 

[LightningStrikes]

Great move for Boston at an okay cost. Bertuzzi should fit right in.

Ok where do you get the indication he is going to be good? Crystal ball, little genie in a lamp? Or did you just focus on last year in Nashville? Now Remember I am in the Nashville area and I have seen every NHL gamer the guy has played in.

Next you need to define good? Is it 10 goals on the 3rd line or 25 goals on the second if he in fact replaces Killorn next year.

Third you have to explain the price paid for him really two firsts a 2nd and two more picks.

Then you must consider the need of the team his defense will make a marginal difference, it is doubtful it will overcome the number of short handed chances he give other teams due to penalties.

Now initially I thought maybe he may be considered to play in the top 6 which may have helped with net front o. The line. But after listening to the rumbling from the talking heads it looks as if 3rd line is his future, no doubt in search of that Gourde line.

I have seen enough of him to see he is a tweener at most. Defensively responsible but most importantly CHEAP for the moment. Early this year in Nashville we heard if he repeated the 25 goals from last year he was looking for 5 mil per. The common feeling now is 2 to 2.5 for his next contract now if he were a 21 or 22 year old that would not be a issue but his next contract

inhave not eaten crow in a while. But if need be I can. I was not wrong about ABB I was not wrong about Joseph.

I am pretty confident after seeming every NHL game the guy has played as a 25 year old undrafted player who had an anomaly year last year that he is going to be worth what he was paid for. Look at his career last year was the only season since the WHL he had broken 20. This includes his ahl time . We have a saying here in Tennessee a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

He will make a small difference in team defense. But is it enough to overcome the minutes he spends in the box? I point out again he is 2 minutes below Maroon for time in the box.

We’re going to find out soon enough what he will bring. But one thing we already know his cost was far above the going rate.

So prepare that plate of crow one of us will be eating it. But do not try to represent that a good defensive forward is worth the price. We could not give Johnson away who was good two way and was still a 15 goal guy even being demoted to fewer minutes.

Taylor Hall to LTIR

Hey this sounds like chicago in 2015 I wonder if he will be back by round 1 hmmmmmmmm

Kucherov and point at 9.5 mil I will take.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I wanted Bertuzzi but he would have only been a rental for us, I think the Jeannot trade works out better in the long run. Great fit for the Bruins.

[gn2007]

Brian Bradley was one of my favorite bolts when I started watching hockey. Puppa and hamrlik also

 

[LightningStrikes]

Taylor Hall to LTIR

They’re not done huh.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Absolute garbage dump of a franchise

 

[RussianGuyovich]

They’re not done huh.

Had to put hall on LTIR to fit Bertuzzi

 

[Felonious Python]

The Flyers haven't really done much yet. Hayes, JVR, Provorov, Braun, Seeler.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Absolute garbage dump of a franchise

It's a joke they're allowed to play in that shoebox of an arena and that they're allowed to just stockpile LTIR contracts to be cap compliant.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

ABB and abb

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[RussianGuyovich]

taylor hall is on LTIR, so he's out a minimum of 24 days, although that can be retroactive i think

 

[Felonious Python]

 

[T REX]

Seems everyone is JBB this year

It is looking like our finals run is over...

 

[CupsOverCash]

I think its kinda flattering seeing the Bruins and Toronto making move after move. Maybe another one will definitely put them over the top.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Crouse would be an awesome fit here.
